Once upon a time in Greece...

User Rating: 8.5 | Icarian: Kindred Spirits WII
By stAmbrosius | Review Date:
there was a little fairy named Nyx. Her boyfriend went missing so she decended from her home in the heavens to go and look for him. Greece at that time was abandoned by the Gods and only harpys and hydras dwelled there.
There was one God who was supporting her on her quest and that was none other then almighty Zeus himself. As Nyx made her way he raised and lowered pillars and massive stone blocks using his mighty wii-mote. Soon other Gods were helping her as well with their powers over wind and fire. With such a team supporting her, Nyx' quest became the most relaxing 2d platforming adventure. Though character models were simplistic, nice 3d backgrounds, relaxing music and above all great gameplay more then made up for that.
1000 wii-points well spent.

this game is also known as Icarian: kindred spirits, but that name was later changed to Nyx Quest because of legal reasons. I liked the Icarian name better, but it's the same game.
